Space: 1999  Eagle Launch

Click on the images below to download.  The full 50 second animation
had to be split in two because I used the XingMpeg demo encoder
which has a 30 second limit.  The first half shows the Eagle being
elevated into place, the gangway docking, and a bird's eye view of
the full launch pad as another Eagle flies by.  The second half shows
the gangway separating and the actual lift-off with full thruster
action including a bit of dust kickup and maneuvering rocket usage.
